JNO. f. CARROLL. Editor

A New YORK publication called the
Ha6erdasher figures up that the cost Of a
wedding outfit to a gilded youth of
Gotham is 81, 245. The average run OF
matrimonially inclined young men in this
region need not feel discouraged over
their prospects when the list is sifted
down. 1t includes six suits of silk under
wear, valued at $40, four dozen pairs Of
silk socks worth S24O, one pair of $40
suspenders and three worth 80, four silk
night shirts worth 800. bath robes, four
Pajama suits, smoking jackets, silk dress
ing suits and a great deal more of such
like monumental folly. Many young men
whose widest fights of extravaganza do
not run beyond two for a quarter socks
and who economically utilize their sum-
mer duster by FASTING a little fur around
the collar in the winter months,
might well be dismayed at the
chilly outlook did custom render such
outrageous toggery a necessary prelimi
nary to matrimony. Fortunately for them
it does not. In our own limited expert
ence we have known of some happy mar
riages where the groom did not conde-
scend to the use of suspenders at all, and
even avoided the formality of encasing his
neck in a shirt collar. Instances have
already been reported where the happy
groom for obvious reasons was forced to
lie abed while his accomplished bride pre-
pared all his available linen for further
use.
Let the j~cunesse doree enjoy their silk
socks and $40 suspenders. Out here in
the glowing West all the self-reliant young
man needs is the consent of his best girl
and a reasonable prospect of pulling
safely through an impending hard winter,
and he doesn't care a brass farthIng for
all the silk underwear beneath the blue
vault of heaven.
After the fatal step has been taken it
may be different, but he is willing to take
the plunge and usually lands on his feet.

ARMY OF THE CUMBERLAND.
WASHINGTON, May 1.-THE eighteenth
reunion of the society of the Army of tho
Cumberland was inaugurated this morn
ing at 10 O'Clock by q business meeting at
the new q. A. R. hall, near the corner of
Pennsylvania avenue and Fifteenth street.
The principal feature of the meeting will
be the unwilling of the statue of General
James A. Garfield.
The new Grand Army hall where the
business meeting was held this morning
was gsiiy decorated with banners and
flags rosetted and festooned with insignia
of the old army corps. At IL O'Clock the
president of the society,", General Sheri-
dan, called the meeting to order and ex-
planned that the postponement from
time to time of the eighteenth re-
union was due to the delay in
the completion of Garfeld's statue,
it being the desire of the society to con-
duct the unwilling ceremonies at this
meeting. There were about 100 members
of the society present. The reports OF
the committee were read and approved.
The President announced the membership
of the several committees for the coming
year and the meeting adjourned. The
election of officers of the society will take
place tomorrow.

SHEEP AND WOOL.

Convention of the Wool Growers and Inter
national Sheep Shearers' Association.
ST. LOUIS, Mo-, May 1.-THE Wool
Growers and International Sheep Shear
ers' Association held their second annual
convention at the Cotton Exchange to-
day. The convention was called to order
by the chairman Of the executive COM
mittee, August Tusssig. George
Bemmons, vice-president of the
Cotton Exchange, welcomed the guests
and was responded to by Hon. w. S.
Shallenberger of Pennsylvania. The
speech has strong tariff favor. The
following officers were then elected:
President, General james A. Robinson Of
Ohio; vice presidents, d. E. Bently of
Texas, S. B. Stock of New York, W. s..
Shellenberger of Missouri, John Minte
of Oregon, H. H. Wildman of Illinois,
James L. Thompson of Indiana,
G. W. Walbridge of Kansas,
P Jansen of Nebraska, W. F. Wuler of
Colorado, and Mr.. Henley of Cali
fornia. General Robinson, on taking the
chair, made somewhat lengthy address,
entering into statistics regarding the de-
crease in production of wool, and allud-
ing to the decline of interest IN the mat
ter of the re-enactment of the tariff of 1876.
a committee on resolutions was appoint
ed, after which Judge Lawrence Of Ohio
made an elaborate speech on the wool
interests, showing the growth of foreign
sheep raising, the decline of interest
in this country, the cost of importing
wool, ETC., enumerating the grievances
OF the wool growers and the workings of
tariff of 1888. He expressed the opinion
that though the ranch wool interest
might continue to exist, the production
of superior classes or grades of wool in
the older states could not endure I'M
less change was made in the duties. He
also stated that the wool growers wanted
aid before the Interstate commerce COM
mission on questions affecting freight
rates, and they also wanted the Depart
ment of Agriculture elevated to the
dignity Of an executive department with
bureau in it devoted to the wool in
dustry.

STEPHENvILLE, TEX, May 10.-This is
the last week of five weeks term of
our District court. The court has not
convened yet this week. Judge Nugent
lives about one mile from town on the
east side of the Bosque river, and the
Bosque was out of it's banks yesterday
and so high the Judge could not cross it.
1t is passable this morning and court will
open to day. The rain began here about
O'Clock Sunday night, the 8th inst, ana
it rained nearly all night and up to about
8 O'Clock Monday morning, with light
showers through the day, with consider
able more rain last night, and it is still
cloudy and threatening this morning.
The rain as far as heard from is general
throughout the county. The creeks and
streams have all been out of their banks,
and the ground has unquestionsbly a
good season in 1t.

be given a good fee for expenses, and
another contingent on his success.
Taylor was in favor of hiring help, but
thought good lawyers services would
cost from $500 to $1,000. The subject
must also be got before the people. The
average legislator was a demagogue,
and would do anything pleasing in the
eyes of his constituents. Therefore the aid
of the press must be invoked, so that the
people would become interested in the
passage of the bill. The speaker would
if necessary stump his county in it's sd-
yocacy.
Lancaster asserted that in the begin
ming of the agitation of pharmscy law
all the drug men OF his town (Msrshal)
favored it, but when they found out that
1t would subject them to an examination,
eight out of twelve were opposed to the
law. They had been in the business
for thirty years, and rebelled
against being examined; but il
it was known that the proposed law did
not interfere with them nine-tenths of
the druggists in the state would favor it.
Graham explained that no law could
| legislate man out of business. The bill
was distasteful to him in some of its
| provisions, but he had to accept it to
get favorable report. Others also rose
to state that the law would not inter-
fere with druggists now IN business.
| The discussion at length closed and the
following committee was appointed to
push the passage of the measure:
! W. b. Morrison, chairman, W. II. Will
! liams, DR.. II. L. Taylor and Caleb Ter
rell. Messrs. Samostz and Graham
were asked to act as advisers to the COM
mittee.
Cravens of Gainesville spoke of the
forthcoming banquet, and urged on all
members to stay and enjoy the hospitality
of Fort Worth.
| A motion was made and carried to ad-
journ TIL the following morning az 70
O'Clock.
| GENERAL MOTIFS.
After adjournment in the afternoon the
druggists visited the mammoth establish
ment of Joseph II. Brown There was
but one verdict: "There is nothing in
all Texas that compares with it,
The druggists evidently put cleanliness
in its correct category. They all enjoyed
the luxury Of artesian baths, with which
every man expressed his delight.
Fort Worth was complimented in the
selection of q president, Mr.. f. NJ. Wells.
Taylor Of Waco is always listened to
with attention. His paper, the South
western Druggist, was made the official
organ of the association.
II it hadn't been for Brink Morris there
might have been lively talk on prohibi-
ton, but be nipped it in the bud.
The druggists set splendid example
in the calm, dignifed and gentlemanly
way they conduct their proceedings.
Nearly all the members will stay over
TO the banquet at the Ellis house TO-
night.

Special to the Gazette,
AUSTIN, TEX, May 11.-To-night be-
tween 10 and IL O'Clock very serious
accident occurred at the new capitol
building. A Man named Thomas Gambell
was attending to the depositing of rubble
stones on the top walls. He made the
usual signal of whistle to
the engineer in the basement to
swing the booms that tower above the
building. From this boom depended by
chain a receptacle containing an i'm
mense amount of rubple stone and other
heavy material. From some reason the
boom broke and the prodigous load
of stone went crashing down through
three floors of the new capitol,
not stopping till it struck the solid stone
foundation in the basement. The fall
was over sixty-fve feet. The worst of it
is that Gsmbell cannot be found, and
